Beauty Empties & Reviews

Hey! I apologise in advance for how long this blog post is going to be. I wanted to share my empties I've collected over the last 2 months, just so I can share my opinions on the products after using them fully. I'm just going to go straight into it...

First up is the Kueshi Double Effect Makeup Remover.

I really disliked this makeup remover to be honest. I got it in a Glossybox and don't get me wrong, it's amazing at removing makeup but it leaves this horrible greasy and oily feel on your skin which I hated, it used to make me cringe so much. I have other makeup removing products and they don't leave that kind of feeling on my skin. It is amazing at removing makeup so I suppose if you don't mind that, this would be perfect for you.

Would I repurchase? No, I feel as though there are nicer makeup removing oils/waters.

Next up is the No7 Protect and Perfect Beauty Serum.

This was only a sample size but I really loved this serum, it smelt amazing and it left my skin feeling so matte yet still so moisturised. I really feel as though it helped my skin clear up (since I have spots again now!) I really enjoyed this product and once I've used some products up I have now, I will definitely want to buy it again.

Would I repurchase? YES, yes and yes. I will be buying this again in the future as it made my skin feel amazing.

Another product I recently used up was the Soap and Glory Wonditioner Hair Mask.

I really liked using this mask, I got it as a Christmas present and slowly used it over the last 2 months. I love the smell of anything Soap and Glory so this made my hair smell amazing. As for results on my hair, I didn't really notice anything major, it made my hair soft but my hair is always soft after I've washed it. The main advantage was the smell to be honest!

Would I repurchase? Yes but not in a hurry, I would probably buy this if I needed a hair mask in a rush but I wouldn't go out of my way to repurchase. It is only £9 for 300ml though!

Next on the list is the Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm.

I absolutely love this product. I've recently got into using cleansing balms to take my makeup off and I really love them. This one in particular was really gentle and genuinely got every last bit of my makeup off with no irritation at all. It also lasted for a really long time!

Would I repurchase? Yes, definitely. It is worth every penny!

Another product I used up is the Emporio Armani Because It's You EDP.

I really liked this perfume, I've been trying lots of different perfumes out recently and this one seemed to last a long time on the skin and it smells amazing. It's a nice female musky scent and a little went a long way with this product.

Would I repurchase? Probably not, only because since getting this perfume, I've found other scents I prefer and want to stick with.

Next up is the Pixi Glow Tonic.

This is only the sample size however I really liked this product, it helped to clear up my spots at the time and minimised my acne scars. It made my skin feel so bright and glowy as well.

Would I repurchase? Probably not, due to the fact I found a very similar toner from The Ordinary which is a fraction of the price of this one. Got to save that dollar where you can.

Next up on my empties list is the Sanctuary Spa Sleep Dream Easy Pillow Mist.

I really liked this product as it made my pillow smell of lavender which helped me drift off to sleep easily and it also helped me to de-stress at the end of the day before going to sleep.

Would I repurchase? No as since not using it, I've not been struggling to sleep therefore it can't have made that much of a difference. It's just a nice luxury to have if you have spare money.

Another empty product is the Kiehl's Youth Dose Eye Treatment.

This is only a sample however I loved this eye cream. It made my under eyes look so much brighter after using it. It made my makeup glide on easier underneath my eyes too. A little goes a long way with this as well as it is so creamy.

Would I repurchase? Yes, however it is £37 for the full-size version so I would like to try other eye creams first before splashing the cash on this one.

Next up is the Face Theory Clarifying Cleanser.

I've already done a review of this product on my blog previously but I honestly really love this product. It made my skin feel amazing after using it and I think this is another reason my skin cleared up so much. I have a few cleansers to use up before I look at purchasing this again!

Would I repurchase? Yes, yes and a million times yes. This is one of my favourite cleansers I've EVER used and I've used a lot. I would definitely recommend anyone to try this product.

Another empty on the list is the Yes To Tomatoes Clearing Facial Mask.

Again, really loved this product. It does exactly what it says on the tin which is help clear spots up. My skin used to feel so soft and clean after using this which I loved as I felt as though all the dirt was dragged from my pores whilst using this.

Would I repurchase? Maybe as I've found other clay masks that do the same job which I prefer but I wouldn't say no to using this again.

Another product I used up was the Laura Mercier Tarte Au Citron Hand & Body Cream. (I can't find this anywhere online as I think it's discontinued so I don't have a link, sorry!)

Another sample size but I loved this hand cream so much! It smelt amazing and left my hands feeling so soft after using it. It is a luxury product I wouldn't usually spend my money on so I really enjoyed using it.

Would I repurchase? I can't as it's discontinued but I probably would have as it's amazing quality and the packaging is cute lol.

Next up is the Wet n Wild Photofocus Pressed Powder.

I bought this powder to get free delivery on Look Fantastic as my order had to be over a certain amount but I honestly loved it. It made my skin look so soft and flawless and it really managed to mattify any oils on my skin.

Would I repurchase? For the price of £4.99, yes! It's such a good pressed powder.

Next up on the empties list is the Marcelle Eye Makeup Remover.

I got this in a Birchbox a while ago and I really liked this product. It took my eye makeup off with no issues whatsoever and was really gentle on my skin. I would definitely recommend this.

Would I repurchase? No as I feel it's quite pricey for what it is, there are definitely cheaper alternatives out there. Also, I prefer to use a cleansing balm to take my makeup off now.

Another product I recently finished was the Sephora Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover. (Again, can't find a link to this as we don't have Sephora here in the UK - I cry every time)

This was another sample, I got it from the Sephora in Munich when me and Liam visited. I really liked this eye makeup remover as again, it was gentle but still did an amazing job.

Would I repurchase? Same as above really, no because there are cheaper alternatives and I prefer to use a cleansing balm now instead of wipes or micellar waters.

Another empty product is The Body Shop Himalayan Charcoal Face Mask.

This is a product I always rave about as it is amazing! I would honestly recommend this to anyone, my skin always feels so soft after using this and it genuinely cleans my whole skin out. It's amazing for spots too as it dries them up.

Would I repurchase? YES! I've been looking to but I have too many face masks as it is and it's always out of stock on their website.

Next up is the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask.

I've also already raved about this on my blog before but it really is amazing, I was so upset when I finished this product as it moisturised my lips so well and stayed on overnight! It also smells amazing.

Would I repurchase? Yes, I'm looking how to as it seems a bit hard to get hold of in the UK.

One of the final empties on my list is the Temple Spa Eye Treatment Gel-Cream.

This is such an amazing eye cream. I honestly loved this product. As it's a gel-cream, it helped to cool down my under eye area and it's amazing for de-puffing in the mornings. It helps makeup application around the eye area too. 100% recommend.

Would I repurchase? Yes, such an amazing product. 

Finally, on my empties list is the Superdrug B.Pure Micellar Water.

I feel like I have so many micellar waters in this post oops. This is only a sample size again, it was given to me by my friend Lydia and I really liked it. It didn't leave any residue after I'd used it and it removed all of my makeup straight away.

Would I repurchase? If I used micellar waters to remove my makeup then yes! It's so cheap and works amazingly.

So that's everything I've used up recently! Are there any products you've completely finished that are amazing? Please let me know. Hope everyone is good and staying safe!
